Sad but true; I count two good songs on the new one, and that's being
generous ("That's The Way You Make An Ex" makes it by any standard).
Chesnutt is, in my opinion, an awesome talent, and it's sad to see him
cranking out so many pop-country throwaways; when he does what he ought to
do, like "Pride's," or "Ex," or "Too Cold At Home," or "That Side Of Me,"
there's hardly anyone can touch him.

Indeedy.  Unfortunately, the new one's probably his best-seller in quite
awhile (maybe even ever), which means we may be getting more of the same
on his next one.  Then again, maybe he's thinkin' the label will cut him
some slack after this one, and he can get back to the hard stuff.--don

Wings! Yeah. Paul McCartney's somethin', isn't he? haha.

Did anyone see the VH1 Rock Hall of Fame inductions, when his daughter came
up and they fuzzed out her shirt - I guess the shirt said "It's About
Fucking Time" referring to the fact that it took them too long to induct her
daddy as a solo artist.

We're so sorry.

Heck, it's funny you mention that, Jim, 'cuz I was thinkin' that he seems
to bear more than a passing resemblance to you.  Whenever I hear him sing,
my mind's taken over by your grinnin' mug.--don
